I looked in /var/run/PolicyKit and it is empty.
I ran the polkit-grant --delete donvogt and rebooted.
The partitions are still mounted.
I think Mar 26 was the day I installed fc8 from the
liveCD and did "yum update". If I gave me that
privilege, I don't remember (not at all surprising).
I guess I can add a "cd /media" "sudo umount *" to
rc.local or somewhere. Not very elegant, but so far I
can't find any comprehensible (for a user)
documentation on where or how this stuff is
controlled.
In /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf, I have
<config version="0.1">
<match user="donvogt">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
Which I got out of the manual. I suspect that has the
effect of turning off whatever controls PolicyKit is
trying to control. In my case that may be OK since I
am the only user (until I get rootkited).
Thanks for the help.
